In a good news for the state, Uttarakhand’s tableau, revelling in its love for adventure sports, has been picked for the upcoming Republic Day parade at Delhi’s Kartavya Path.
34 states and union territories had submitted proposals for their tableaus in October and Uttarakhand managed to reach the final list of 15.
The tableau is a journey into the culture, with a woman in traditional attire creating Aipan art towards the beginning, followed by depictions of adventure sports like rock climbing, paragliding, trekking, skiing, river rafting and so on.
Over the years, Uttarakhand’s Republic Day themes for the tableu have revolved around themes like Valley of Flowers, Kedarnath and Manaskhand (which bagged the top spot in 2023). This year, the theme aims at establishing the state’s position as an emerging hub for adventure sports.
